This sounds a little like what happened with my installation. If you hold down
the left mouse button somewhere on a blank bit of screen can you drag down to
a logout option?
I installed KDE but not GNOME. Selecting Session at the bottom of the login
screen let me select KDE, I then obtained the KDE desktop after logging in.
To make the KDE desktop the default you can change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to
DESKTOP="KDE"
